Priced between $2,000 and $20,000, these devices are unaffordable for most students, and they often have mechanical failures because of their complex and costly components. Rather than accept this reality, Mehta decided to try and make his own version, and after a lot of research and testing a few models, he succeeded. Since that day in India, Mehta began moving towards his goal by working with teachers and students at the Blind Relief Association in New Delhi. There, he was able to build a model and test it with the students. “I was deeply moved when the first student, Himanshu, placed his finger on the braille cell during a test trial and accurately identified the characters I had input. Seeing that brought literal tears to my eyes, as the breakthrough highlighted the impact and value of my project and inspired me to go further,” said Mehta. Having always been passionate about engineering, the young inventor found the hardware aspects of the project manageable. However, programming the device to transform input text into braille was something he had to teach himself. Ultimately, Mehta overcame this challenge by developing his skills and understanding of programming. The device simulates braille letter patterns by using a set of six rotating (旋转的) motors that gently press against the user’s fingers. These motors are connected to an Arduino, an open-source electronics platform known for its user-friendly hardware and programmable software. Letter information is then input into the device, translated to braille and sent to the motors. Users can read the braille output with 86% accuracy by resting their fingers just above the motor output. Mehta achieved his goal of creating a device that costs only about $20 to make and could be sold for around $35. He is currently working with two schools to refine the design of the machine for production. 24．(2.5分)Why did Yash Mehta want to create a new version of braille readers? A．He had a real passion for researching and making new things. B．He hoped to make more profits from selling brand-new products. C．The components of the braille readers available were hard to produce. D．The braille readers available were too expensive and often broke down. 25．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．Character input. B．The test trial. C．Himanshu’s success. D．The braille cell. 26．(2.5分)What difficulty did Yash Mehta come across in his project? A．Transforming braille text. B．Managing the hardware parts. C．Learning programming skills. D．Understanding braille systems. 27．(2.5分)What is Paragraph 4 of the text mainly about? A．The design of the braille motors. B．The working principle of the device. C．The approach to building the device. D．The function of the Arduino platform. In Baltimore’s Ellwood Park neighbourhood, the Hipp Laundromat (自助式洗衣店) gets crowded with nearby residents. But during the washing process, they’re often idle. Alongside the washers and driers, a new station with laptops and tablets in the corner is providing internet access. It’s part of a new programme called the Wash and Learn Initiative (WALI) at this and three other laundromats, started by Enoch Pratt Free Library and Libraries Without Borders. The devices are loaded with classes and other offerings from the library. At two of the laundromats, librarians will also be on hand to provide programming around digital skills and one-on-one guidance. “You’ve got 30 minutes where everything’s in the dryer and there’s nothing to do. That’s when you can sit down at a computer, and ask a librarian to help you reset your E-mail password and to do the stuff that you aren’t comfortable doing on your own,” said Lo Smith, a leader of WALI. WALI also aims to provide digital access in areas where residents can benefit from neighbourhood internet connectivity. A report released in 2017 stated that more than 74,000 households in Baltimore lack internet access. “Without a wired internet connection at home, kids can’t do their homework, people can’t apply for jobs,” said Jane Brown, president of the Deutsch Foundation. Adam Echelman, Director of Libraries Without Borders, said the setting is ideal: along with being a place where people have to stick around for multiple hours, it’s also near a specific community and draws repeat users. For those new to technology, librarians can also help break an emotional barrier coming with learning something new, Smith said. “It helps to have someone who understands where you are, to walk you through some of the harder parts and to coach and support you along the way.” 28．(0分)What does the underlined word “idle” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A．Bored. B．Lonely. C．Busy. D．Sleepy. 29．How do the librarians support residents in WALI? A．By assisting people with job hunting. B．By supporting kids in school learning. C．By providing users with digital devices. D．By guiding residents to digital resources. 30．Why does the author mention the 2017 report? A．To prove the necessity of digital access. B．To indicate the number of city households. C．To show the limitation of home computers. D．To explain the absence of wired connections. 31．What are the major advantages of WALI? A．Free devices and faster Internet. B．Digital courses and job opportunities. C．Perfect sites and emotional support. D．Expert librarians and in-person classes. （本题10分）Weighted blankets(毯子), which have been advertised as a solution to anxiety and poor sleep, have gone from a not-well-known tool to a common wellness must-have, with producers saying they’ll bring better sleep and less stress to people. But do they keep these promises? Sleep researchers have used weighted blankets since the 1970s to help children with autism, a kind of mental problem, and adults with sensory problems. They appeared on the market in the1990s, but most were only used by people with special needs. Things changed a lot in recent years. Companies started focusing on what they call “people who feel anxious sometimes”— basically anyone having trouble with modern life’s stress. The ads worked: Time magazine even said the weighted blanket was one of the top 50 “inventions” of 2018. The idea behind weighted blankets is simple. They usually weigh 2 to 13 kilograms— around 10% of your body weight. They use what occupational therapists call “deep pressure stimulation (压力刺激)”. The soft, steady pressure on your body makes you feel like being held. A study of 120 psychiatric patients found that weighted blankets improved sleep quality over four weeks in people with some health problems, like depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety and ADHD．Smaller studies have shown similar results. One found that 63% of adults reported lower anxiety after just five minutes under a weighted blanket, while another study of psychiatric patients found 60% experienced reduced anxiety during their hospital stay. However, these studies all focused on people with mental health conditions, not the general population that companies are now focusing on. There’s not enough evidence(证据) that they do good to common users who don’t have mental health problems. This doesn’t mean weighted blankets are totally useless for healthy people. Shift workers — who have to sleep during the day — might find them helpful. They can fight the known health problems from irregular schedules. Healthcare workers, firefighters and pilots need short, useful naps. These blankets could help them fall asleep faster. If a weighted blanket makes you feel calmer and sleep better, even if it doesn’t work like producers say, that’s still good. Just make sure you know what you’re buying. 32．(2.5分)What do weighted blankets promise to solve? A．Sleeplessness. B．Weight problems. C．Headache. D．Forgetfulness. 33．(2.5分)How does the weighted blanket work? A．By fixing users’ sleeping time. B．By working out users’ body weight. C．By bringing users a pleasant feeling. D．By copying the feeling of sleeping in bed. 34．(2.5分)What does the author think of weighted blankets? A．They are useless for healthy people. B．They will have a very hopeful future ahead. C．They are helpful to certain groups of people. D．They may cause some mental health problems. 35．(2.5分)Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A．The Science Behind Deep Pressure B．Who Gets Most from Weighted Blankets? C．Weighted Blankets: From Special Needs to Daily Use D．Do Weighted Blankets Really Live Up to Their Wellness Promises? （本题12.5分）What technologies will be in the classroom of the futureCloud technology Thanks to the cloud, homework, educational resources and other learning materials can be accessed from any device with an Internet connection. 36(2.5分) , and they also will not have to worry about carrying heavy textbooks and other educational materials around with them.Virtual reality Virtual reality (VR) technology can be used to create unique learning experiences that inspire a student’s imagination and creativity. 37(2.5分) but there are cost-efficient options such as Google Cardboard that can offer educators an affordable way to introduce this technology in their classrooms.Flexible displays (显示器) OLED-based displays would be much like a regular piece of paper.

It is a remarkable example of ancient 56(0分) (engineer) skill and is still in use today. During the Warring States period, people 57 lived along the banks of the Min River were troubled by annual flooding. Qin governor and irrigation engineer Li Bing investigated the problem thoroughly. He led a team 58 (construct) a levee (堤坝) to redirect a portion of the river’s flow. Then they cut a channel 59 Mount Yulei to discharge the excess water. After the system was finished, no more floods 60 (occur). What’s more, it made Sichuan one of the most 61 (product) agricultural regions in China because the 62 (redirect) water from the Min River could be used for irrigation. If you visit Dujiangyan, you will see an unusual construction that resembles a fish’s mouth. This famous 63 (attract), Yuzui, together with two other important parts, namely, Feishayan and Baopingkou, was 64 (scientific) designed to control the water flow throughout the year. Recognised as 65 UNESCO heritage site, Dujiangyan has irrigated farms while preventing floods for over 2,000 years. 五、书信写作 66．（本题15分）你校英文报正在开展主题为“Technological Innovation Shaping Our Future Life”的征文活动。请你写一篇短文投稿，内容包括： 1．列举1～2项科技，并说明它（们）将如何影响日常或社会发展； 2．你为适应科技世界所做的准备。 注意： 1．词数80左右； 2．可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Technological Innovation Shaping Our Future Life ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 六、书面表达 67．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Our class had just finished a tough round of monthly exams. For weeks, we had been buried in endless exams, piles of homework and tight study schedules, which left us exhausted both physically and mentally. Longing for a thorough break to escape the stressful school life, my best friend Jack and I were desperate to relax. “Let’s climb the mountain near the city this weekend!” Jack suggested excitedly. I agreed at once without hesitation. We both eagerly looked forward to the refreshing trip and made a firm promise to each other, “No giving up halfway, whatever happens.” Early in the morning, we set off in high spirits. The weather was absolutely gorgeous, with bright golden sunshine streaming down and soft gentle wind brushing our faces gently. Walking along the quiet, winding mountain path, we chatted happily about our colorful school life, shared funny daily anecdotes and burst into laughter from time to time. The whole mountain was covered with thick lush green plants, and delicate wild flowers of various colors dotted both sides of the path, bringing us great joy and total relaxation. However, just as we were fully enjoying the pleasant scenery, the weather changed subtly halfway up the mountain. Thin dark clouds slowly covered the clear blue sky, and soon a soft light drizzle began to fall quietly. The fine rain was not fierce at all, yet it gradually moistened the rough stone path and made it slightly slippery. Totally absorbed in the unique misty mountain scenery, I neglected my footsteps carelessly. Suddenly, I stepped on a smooth wet stone, stumbled clumsily and fell down by the roadside. My knee was slightly scraped and ached faintly, but fortunately, I suffered no serious injury. Though the pain was totally bearable, this unexpected fall instantly ruined my wonderful mood. Staring at the endless twisting path ahead and the lingering drizzle, I sighed disappointedly and whispered helplessly, “It’s raining and the path is too tough. Maybe we should just turn back and go home.” 注意：1. 续写词数应为150词左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Hearing my frustrated words, Jack hurried over to check my injury, his eyes full of concern. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We kept climbing patiently, encouraging each other all the way. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高中英语单元测试——Unit 2 Looking into the Future （较难版02） 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、听力选择题 1．（本题1.5分） What has made working at home possible?

C．It can protect the house from strong heat. 【答案】18．C 19．A 20．B 【原文】W: We won’t know what the future house will look like, but we can imagine three kinds of houses.The first one is the tree house. Like a leaf, the surface of the house collects sunlight during the day. The energy can be used to heat water, produce electricity and even create fresh air for the home. The root of the house is deep under the ground. It uses the soil to control the home’s temperature.The second one is the lizard home. Like a lizard, changing colors with the weather is the most important design of a lizard house. When it’s in the bright sun, the cover of the house will turn dark to protect it from strong heat. During the dark days, it turns white and takes in as much light and heat as possible to produce energy.The last one is the chimney house. In such a house, a chimney can be a useful air conditioner because it is easier for hot air to flow out of the chimney. 二、阅读理解 Britain is arguably a great walking nation.

Priced between $2,000 and $20,000, these devices are unaffordable for most students, and they often have mechanical failures because of their complex and costly components. Rather than accept this reality, Mehta decided to try and make his own version, and after a lot of research and testing a few models, he succeeded. Since that day in India, Mehta began moving towards his goal by working with teachers and students at the Blind Relief Association in New Delhi. There, he was able to build a model and test it with the students. “I was deeply moved when the first student, Himanshu, placed his finger on the braille cell during a test trial and accurately identified the characters I had input. Seeing that brought literal tears to my eyes, as the breakthrough highlighted the impact and value of my project and inspired me to go further,” said Mehta. Having always been passionate about engineering, the young inventor found the hardware aspects of the project manageable. However, programming the device to transform input text into braille was something he had to teach himself. Ultimately, Mehta overcame this challenge by developing his skills and understanding of programming. The device simulates braille letter patterns by using a set of six rotating (旋转的) motors that gently press against the user’s fingers. These motors are connected to an Arduino, an open-source electronics platform known for its user-friendly hardware and programmable software. Letter information is then input into the device, translated to braille and sent to the motors. Users can read the braille output with 86% accuracy by resting their fingers just above the motor output. Mehta achieved his goal of creating a device that costs only about $20 to make and could be sold for around $35. He is currently working with two schools to refine the design of the machine for production. 24．(2.5分)Why did Yash Mehta want to create a new version of braille readers? A．He had a real passion for researching and making new things. B．He hoped to make more profits from selling brand-new products. C．The components of the braille readers available were hard to produce. D．The braille readers available were too expensive and often broke down. 25．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．Character input. B．The test trial. C．Himanshu’s success. D．The braille cell. 26．(2.5分)What difficulty did Yash Mehta come across in his project? A．Transforming braille text. B．Managing the hardware parts. C．Learning programming skills. D．Understanding braille systems. 27．(2.5分)What is Paragraph 4 of the text mainly about? A．The design of the braille motors. B．The working principle of the device. C．The approach to building the device. D．The function of the Arduino platform. 【答案】24．D 25．C 26．C 27．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述14岁男孩Yash Mehta为印度盲校学生研发低成本、易使用的数字盲文阅读器的故事。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Priced between $2,000 and $20,000, these devices are unaffordable for most students, and they often have mechanical failures because of their complex and costly components. Rather than accept this reality, Mehta decided to try and make his own version (这些设备的价格在2000美元到20000美元之间，大多数学生都买不起，而且由于组件复杂且昂贵，它们还经常出现机械故障。Mehta没有接受这个现实，而是决定尝试制作自己的版本)”可知，Mehta研发新盲文阅读器是因为现有设备价格过高且频繁出故障。故选D项。 25．词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“I was deeply moved when the first student, Himanshu, placed his finger on the braille cell during a test trial and accurately identified the characters I had input. Seeing that brought literal tears to my eyes (当第一个学生Himanshu在测试中把手指放在盲文单元上，准确识别出我输入的字符时，我深受感动。看到那个场景，我真的流下了眼泪)”可知，“that”指代前文“Himanshu成功识别字符”这一事件，正是这一成功让Mehta感动落泪。故选C项。 26．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“However, programming the device to transform input text into braille was something he had to teach himself. Ultimately, Mehta overcame this challenge by developing his skills and understanding of programming (然而，为设备编写程序以将输入文本转换为盲文，是他必须自学的内容。最终，Mehta通过提升自己的编程技能和理解，克服了这个挑战)”可知，Mehta在项目中遇到的困难是学习编程技能。故选C项。 27．主旨大意题。根据第四段内容“The device simulates braille letter patterns by using a set of six rotating (旋转的) motors that gently press against the user’s fingers. These motors are connected to an Arduino... Letter information is then input into the device, translated to braille and sent to the motors. Users can read the braille output with 86% accuracy...(该设备使用六个旋转电机轻轻按压用户的手指，模拟盲文字母图案。这些电机连接到Arduino平台……然后，字符信息被输入设备，转换为盲文并发送到电机。用户读取盲文输出的准确率可达86%……)”可知，该段围绕“设备如何工作”展开，详细介绍了其工作流程和原理。故选B项。 In Baltimore’s Ellwood Park neighbourhood, the Hipp Laundromat (自助式洗衣店) gets crowded with nearby residents. But during the washing process, they’re often idle. Alongside the washers and driers, a new station with laptops and tablets in the corner is providing internet access. It’s part of a new programme called the Wash and Learn Initiative (WALI) at this and three other laundromats, started by Enoch Pratt Free Library and Libraries Without Borders. The devices are loaded with classes and other offerings from the library. At two of the laundromats, librarians will also be on hand to provide programming around digital skills and one-on-one guidance. “You’ve got 30 minutes where everything’s in the dryer and there’s nothing to do. That’s when you can sit down at a computer, and ask a librarian to help you reset your E-mail password and to do the stuff that you aren’t comfortable doing on your own,” said Lo Smith, a leader of WALI. WALI also aims to provide digital access in areas where residents can benefit from neighbourhood internet connectivity. A report released in 2017 stated that more than 74,000 households in Baltimore lack internet access. “Without a wired internet connection at home, kids can’t do their homework, people can’t apply for jobs,” said Jane Brown, president of the Deutsch Foundation. Adam Echelman, Director of Libraries Without Borders, said the setting is ideal: along with being a place where people have to stick around for multiple hours, it’s also near a specific community and draws repeat users. For those new to technology, librarians can also help break an emotional barrier coming with learning something new, Smith said. “It helps to have someone who understands where you are, to walk you through some of the harder parts and to coach and support you along the way.” 28．(0分)What does the underlined word “idle” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A．Bored. B．Lonely. C．Busy. D．Sleepy. 29．How do the librarians support residents in WALI? A．By assisting people with job hunting. B．By supporting kids in school learning. C．By providing users with digital devices. D．By guiding residents to digital resources. 30．Why does the author mention the 2017 report? A．To prove the necessity of digital access. B．To indicate the number of city households. C．To show the limitation of home computers. D．To explain the absence of wired connections. 31．What are the major advantages of WALI? A．Free devices and faster Internet. B．Digital courses and job opportunities. C．Perfect sites and emotional support. D．Expert librarians and in-person classes. 【答案】28．A 29．D 30．A 31．C 【导语】文章主要介绍了巴尔的摩推出的“洗衣学习计划（WALI）”，该项目在自助洗衣店增设电子设备与网络服务、配备图书管理员指导居民学习数字技能，以此解决当地部分社区缺乏网络、居民数字学习困难的问题。 【详解】28．词句猜测题。根据原文第一段“But during the washing process, they’re often idle.(但在洗衣过程中，他们通常是idle。)”可知，居民等待洗衣烘干时无事可做，idle在此处意为“无聊的、无事可做的”。 29．细节理解题。根据原文第二段“At two of the laundromats, librarians will also be on hand to provide programming around digital skills and one-on-one guidance.(在其中两家自助洗衣店，图书管理员会现场提供数字技能课程以及一对一指导。)”可知，图书管理员通过指导居民使用数字资源、学习数字技能来帮助居民。 30．推理判断题。根据原文第三段“A report released in 2017 stated that more than 74,000 households in Baltimore lack internet access.(2017年发布的一份报告显示，巴尔的摩有超过7.4万户家庭无法接入网络。)”可知，作者引用该报告是为了证明当地居民缺乏网络资源，凸显普及数字网络服务、推行该项目的必要性。 31．推理判断题。根据原文第四段“Adam Echelman, Director of Libraries Without Borders, said the setting is ideal: along with being a place where people have to stick around for multiple hours, it’s also near a specific community and draws repeat users.(无国界图书馆负责人Adam Echelman表示，该场地选址十分理想，人们洗衣需停留数小时，且紧邻社区、客流稳定。)”以及“librarians can also help break an emotional barrier coming with learning something new (图书管理员还能帮助人们克服学习新事物时的心理障碍)”可知，该项目的两大优势是选址绝佳、且能为居民提供心理情感支持。 （本题10分）Weighted blankets(毯子), which have been advertised as a solution to anxiety and poor sleep, have gone from a not-well-known tool to a common wellness must-have, with producers saying they’ll bring better sleep and less stress to people. But do they keep these promises? Sleep researchers have used weighted blankets since the 1970s to help children with autism, a kind of mental problem, and adults with sensory problems. They appeared on the market in the1990s, but most were only used by people with special needs. Things changed a lot in recent years. Companies started focusing on what they call “people who feel anxious sometimes”— basically anyone having trouble with modern life’s stress. The ads worked: Time magazine even said the weighted blanket was one of the top 50 “inventions” of 2018. The idea behind weighted blankets is simple. They usually weigh 2 to 13 kilograms— around 10% of your body weight. They use what occupational therapists call “deep pressure stimulation (压力刺激)”. The soft, steady pressure on your body makes you feel like being held. A study of 120 psychiatric patients found that weighted blankets improved sleep quality over four weeks in people with some health problems, like depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety and ADHD．Smaller studies have shown similar results. One found that 63% of adults reported lower anxiety after just five minutes under a weighted blanket, while another study of psychiatric patients found 60% experienced reduced anxiety during their hospital stay. However, these studies all focused on people with mental health conditions, not the general population that companies are now focusing on. There’s not enough evidence(证据) that they do good to common users who don’t have mental health problems. This doesn’t mean weighted blankets are totally useless for healthy people. Shift workers — who have to sleep during the day — might find them helpful. They can fight the known health problems from irregular schedules. Healthcare workers, firefighters and pilots need short, useful naps. These blankets could help them fall asleep faster. If a weighted blanket makes you feel calmer and sleep better, even if it doesn’t work like producers say, that’s still good. Just make sure you know what you’re buying. 32．(2.5分)What do weighted blankets promise to solve? A．Sleeplessness. B．Weight problems. C．Headache. D．Forgetfulness. 33．(2.5分)How does the weighted blanket work? A．By fixing users’ sleeping time. B．By working out users’ body weight. C．By bringing users a pleasant feeling. D．By copying the feeling of sleeping in bed. 34．(2.5分)What does the author think of weighted blankets? A．They are useless for healthy people. B．They will have a very hopeful future ahead. C．They are helpful to certain groups of people. D．They may cause some mental health problems. 35．(2.5分)Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A．The Science Behind Deep Pressure B．Who Gets Most from Weighted Blankets? C．Weighted Blankets: From Special Needs to Daily Use D．Do Weighted Blankets Really Live Up to Their Wellness Promises? 【答案】32．A 33．C 34．C 35．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要围绕重力毯“是否符合其健康承诺”展开，介绍了其从针对特殊需求群体的小众工具转变为主流健康产品的历程，阐述了它的工作原理、相关研究结果，以及对普通健康人群的实际作用与价值。 【详解】32．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Weighted blankets(毯子), which have been advertised as a solution to anxiety and poor sleep, have gone from a not-well-known tool to a common wellness must-have, with producers saying they’ll bring better sleep and less stress to people.(重力毯，宣传为一种缓解焦虑、改善睡眠的方案，已从一种鲜为人知的工具，变成了常见的健康必备品。生产商说，这类毯子能为人们带来更优质的睡眠，还能减轻压力。)”可知，重力毯被推广为解决焦虑和失眠问题的方案。故选A。 33．细节理解题。根据第四段中“They use what occupational therapists call “deep pressure stimulation(压力刺激)”. The soft, steady pressure on your body makes you feel like being held.(它们运用了职业治疗师所说的“深度压力刺激”原理。毯子施加在身体上的柔和且持续的压力，会让人产生被拥抱的感觉。)”可知，重力毯通过在身体上施加柔和均匀的压力，模拟被拥抱的感觉发挥作用，即让用户产生很舒适的愉悦感。故选C。 34．推理判断题。根据第七段中“Healthcare workers, firefighters and pilots need short, useful naps. These blankets could help them fall asleep faster.(医护人员、消防员和飞行员需要短暂且有效的小憩。这类毯子能帮助他们更快入睡。)”可知，重力毯对于某些人群人来说是有用的。故选C。 35．主旨大意题。文章主要围绕重力毯“是否符合其健康承诺”展开，介绍了其从针对特殊需求群体的小众工具转变为主流健康产品的历程，阐述了它的工作原理、相关研究结果，以及对普通健康人群的实际作用与价值。所以最佳标题为“重力毯真的能兑现它们所宣称的健康功效吗？”。故选D。 （本题12.5分）What technologies will be in the classroom of the futureCloud technology Thanks to the cloud, homework, educational resources and other learning materials can be accessed from any device with an Internet connection. 36(2.5分) , and they also will not have to worry about carrying heavy textbooks and other educational materials around with them.Virtual reality Virtual reality (VR) technology can be used to create unique learning experiences that inspire a student’s imagination and creativity. 37(2.5分) but there are cost-efficient options such as Google Cardboard that can offer educators an affordable way to introduce this technology in their classrooms.Flexible displays (显示器) OLED-based displays would be much like a regular piece of paper.

For weeks, we had been buried in endless exams, piles of homework and tight study schedules, which left us exhausted both physically and mentally. Longing for a thorough break to escape the stressful school life, my best friend Jack and I were desperate to relax. “Let’s climb the mountain near the city this weekend!” Jack suggested excitedly. I agreed at once without hesitation. We both eagerly looked forward to the refreshing trip and made a firm promise to each other, “No giving up halfway, whatever happens.” Early in the morning, we set off in high spirits. The weather was absolutely gorgeous, with bright golden sunshine streaming down and soft gentle wind brushing our faces gently. Walking along the quiet, winding mountain path, we chatted happily about our colorful school life, shared funny daily anecdotes and burst into laughter from time to time. The whole mountain was covered with thick lush green plants, and delicate wild flowers of various colors dotted both sides of the path, bringing us great joy and total relaxation. However, just as we were fully enjoying the pleasant scenery, the weather changed subtly halfway up the mountain. Thin dark clouds slowly covered the clear blue sky, and soon a soft light drizzle began to fall quietly. The fine rain was not fierce at all, yet it gradually moistened the rough stone path and made it slightly slippery. Totally absorbed in the unique misty mountain scenery, I neglected my footsteps carelessly. Suddenly, I stepped on a smooth wet stone, stumbled clumsily and fell down by the roadside. My knee was slightly scraped and ached faintly, but fortunately, I suffered no serious injury. Though the pain was totally bearable, this unexpected fall instantly ruined my wonderful mood. Staring at the endless twisting path ahead and the lingering drizzle, I sighed disappointedly and whispered helplessly, “It’s raining and the path is too tough. Maybe we should just turn back and go home.” 注意：1. 续写词数应为150词左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Hearing my frustrated words, Jack hurried over to check my injury, his eyes full of concern. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We kept climbing patiently, encouraging each other all the way. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 Hearing my frustrated words, Jack hurried over to check my injury, his eyes full of concern. “Are you okay?” he asked softly. After examining my knee, he smiled in relief, “It’s just a minor scrape! It’s far from serious.” He patted the dirt off my clothes and reminded me earnestly, “We promised each other no giving up halfway. Don’t let this small trouble defeat us!” His warm and encouraging words instantly cheered me up. I shook off my negative mood and nodded firmly. Despite the continuous light drizzle, I no longer felt discouraged. With Jack’s company and support, I stood up and kept climbing forward bravely with him. We kept climbing patiently, encouraging each other all the way. Gradually, the fine drizzle ceased and dark clouds rolled away. The bright sun broke through the clouds, lighting up the entire mountain. We eventually reached the peak, bathed in warm sunshine. Overlooking the breathtaking scenery, I sighed with amazement. “It’s all worth it!” I said excitedly. Jack smiled and replied, “Persistence always pays off.” I expressed my sincere gratitude to him for motivating me. This unforgettable experience made me realize that only with perseverance and true friendship can we embrace sunshine and wonderful scenery after hardships. 【导语】本文讲述了月考结束后，作者和好友杰克相约爬山放松。起初天气晴好、景色宜人，中途却突降小雨，山路湿滑，作者不慎摔倒，心生退意。在好友的鼓励与陪伴下，他重拾信心坚持登顶。雨过天晴，二人饱览美景，作者也领悟到坚持可贵、友谊珍贵的道理。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写杰克关心和鼓励作者，作者不再沮丧。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写雨过天晴，二人饱览美景，作者也领悟到坚持可贵、友谊珍贵的道理。 2.续写线索：杰克关心→作者重拾信心→登顶→饱览美景→感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①停止：cease/come to a stop ②使高兴：cheer sb. up/brighten sb. up 情绪类 ①沮丧的：discouraged/upset ②勇敢地：bravely/courageously 【点睛】[高分句型1] After examining my knee, he smiled in relief, “It’s just a minor scrape!
